Consistent individual behavioral variation: what do we know and where are we going?
The study of individual behavioral variation, sometimes called animal personalities or
behavioral types, is now a well-established area of research in behavioral ecology and …

Coevolution of body size and metabolic rate in vertebrates: a life‐history perspective
Despite many decades of research, the allometric scaling of metabolic rates (MRs) remains
poorly understood. Here, we argue that scaling exponents of these allometries do not …

Integrating behavior in life-history theory: allocation versus acquisition?
Central theories explaining the maintenance of individual differences in behavior build on
the assumption that behavior mediates life-history trade-offs between current and future …

Meta-analysis reveals that resting metabolic rate is not consistently related to fitness and performance in animals
Explaining variation in the fitness of organisms is a fundamental goal in evolutionary
ecology. Maintenance energy metabolism is the minimum energy required to sustain …

A fast pace-of-life is traded off against a high thermal performance
The integration of life-history, behavioural and physiological traits into a 'pace-of-life
syndrome'is a powerful concept in understanding trait variation in nature. Yet, mechanisms …

Animal personalities and seed dispersal: a conceptual review
Consistent individual tendencies in behaviour, or behavioural types, are likely to impact the
dynamics and outcomes of animal‐mediated seed dispersal. We review the extant literature …
